(STILL EDITING THIS PAGEEEEE)! The Andes Mountains in Argentina
The Andes is the longest mountain range in the world, running 4,500 miles from north to south along the west coast of South America. It begins on the southern tip of Chile and passes through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, and Venezuela. Outside of the Himalayas, the Andes have some of the highest peaks in the world, its height averaging 13,000 feet above sea level and its highest, Aconcagua at 22,841 feet.
Composed of mountain ranges or cordilleras, the Andes have some of the most spectacular scenery in Latin America and are a wonderland for many outdoor activities. Because of the extreme variation in altitude in the rugged terrain, there are many different climate zones. It is possible, for example, to ski on the western slopes in sub-zero conditions and trek through tropical rain forests in the same day, even if on foot.
The Argentine Andes is a wonderland for outdoor adventures and has some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Argentina. In the North you'll find prairie lands in the Pampas, gigantic canyons, indigenous peoples, alpine forests, and the Chaco Desert. The Central region has some of South America's best wine country, the second biggest city of Cordoba, and skiing in and around Mendoza. In the South there is the Lake District and more excellent places for skiing, hiking, and water sports.
